A considerable portion of a chip is dedicated to a cache memory in a modern microprocessor chip. However, some applications may not actively need all the cache storage, especially...
The new concept of an unbalanced, hierarchicallydivided cache memory system is introduced and analyzed. This approach generalizes existing cache structures by allowing different m...
Abstract. By simulating a real computer it is possible to gain a detailed knowledge of the cache memory utilization of an application, e.g., a partial differential equation (PDE) s...
Replacement policy, one of the key factors determining the effectiveness of a cache, becomes even more important with latest technological trends toward highly associative caches....

This paper proposes a non-uniform cache architecture for reducing the power consumption of memory systems. The nonuniform cache allows having different associativity values (i.e.,...
This paper presents an energy-conservation method for multiple disks and their cache memory. Our method periodically resizes the cache memory and controls the rotation speeds unde...
